whats your self worth?
People have said, something is only worth what someone would pay for it. If what you're selling, no one is buying, then what you have is pretty worthless.
But there are stores out there that sell all kinds of things and so the market makes room for them.
People are the same. Some people are beautiful, but useless for more than their looks. Like a painting they are worth a lot because people see them as rare.But, some people can go their whole lives without decorating.
Some people are useful and so are worth a lot because they fulfill some purpose. Hardworking, or smart, they are seen has having some value that makes them worth the investment.
Then there are people I'd characterize as novelty people. You buy them because you've just never seen anything like them. They're especially entertaing or unique. They don't cost a lot, so you can't pass them up.
Then there are bargain people. They don't cost much, arent worth much and don't last long. They fill a slot temoparily. You don't really like them and wouldn't keep around long if you had the funds to spend. And you certainly don't show them off.
Of course I'm only speaking in terms of worldly value, and the value we give to ourselves by the nature of the investments we make in ourselves. I'm not very good at investment, which makes me wonder how valuable I've really ended up being.
I've never been concerned with excellence or greatness where my life is concerned. And I've always seen myself as untapped potential. But at what point does the potential cease? And what would it take to bring me to a point of honestly desiring personal greatness?
